Report – Inter Milan Evaluating Late Summer Bid For ‘Indispensable' Olympiacos Midfielder
According to Greek media outlet Athletiko via FCInterNews, the Italian giants are evaluating a last-gasp swoop for the Argentine.
Inter's focus remains on Ademola Lookman for the time being.
However, the Nerazzurri could still add to Christian Chivu's midfield options despite Hakan Calhanoglu's decision to stay.
Indeed, the Serie A runners-up are evaluating several market opportunities to strengthen their engine room.

Inter have decided to part ways with Piotr Zielinski.
Despite joining the club as one of the best midfielders in Serie A, the 31-year-old has struggled at San Siro.
Therefore, the Nerazzurri are keen to cash in on the former Napoli star.
Genoa's Morten Frendrup has emerged as a potential target for Chivu's side.
However, they must sort out Zielinski's future.
Meanwhile, they're keeping other options open, including Santiago Hezze.
Yet, Olympiacos manager Jose Luis Mendilibar reportedly views the 23-year-old as 'non-transferable.'
As such, Inter cannot expect to sign the ex-Flamengo ace on favorable terms.

More Photo byHow to Watch Espanyol vs Atletico Madrid Date: Sunday, August 17, 2025 Time: 3:00 PM EDT Location: RCDE Stadium, Cornella de Llobregat, Spain Channel: ESPN2 Stream: Fubo (TRY FOR FREE) After a busy summer of spending, Atletico Madrid is hoping to turn the pressure up on La Liga rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona as it begins a new campaign away to Espanyol on Sunday. Los Rojiblancos have spent over $200 million on new signings this summer, hoping it will give Diego Simeone the tools he needs to once again break up Spain's duopoly. Among the new faces looking to make an impact in red and white are winger Alex Baena, defender David Hancko, and midfielder Johnny Cardoso. Italian forward Giacomo Raspadori is the latest new arrival in Madrid following his $26 million move from Napoli, while Juan Musso and Matteo Ruggeri have also joined from Serie A side Atalanta. Catalan outfit Espanyol has also been highly active in the transfer market, adding nine new faces over the summer, though the biggest development was through the exit door. That's after goalkeeper Joan Garcia completed a switch to neighbor nemesis Barcelona for a cool $30 million. While Atleti is hoping to ignite a new title hunt this term, it's worth noting the club has failed to beat Espanyol in any of their last four meetings. Simeone's side hasn't lost in this particular matchup since 2019, although the recent failure to get a positive result over the line will be a concern for the Madrid giant.

Report – Inter Milan Not Planning To Keep Argentina U21 Star Despite Zalewski Sale
Inter Milan are still not planning to keep defender Tomas Palacios this summer despite the sale of Nicolas Zalewski. Inter Milan only signed Tomas Palacios last summer. However, in his first season at the club the Argentine simply never convinced. Palacios spent the second half of last season on loan with Monza. Meanwhile, it has long looked to be a matter of when rather than if Inter would offload the 23-year-old this summer transfer window. Inter Not Planning To Keep Palacios Despite Zalewski Sale In the meantime, however, Inter have agreed a deal to sell Nicola Zalewski to Atalanta. The Polish international wingback departs despite having only joined on a permanent basis this summer. That means that Carlos Augusto is likely to have more responsibilities in the team as a backup centre-back to Alessandro Bastoni. Therefore, there could very well be a certain logic to keeping Palacios. This would give Bastoni more backup, and would free up Augusto for the wingback position with Zalewski gone. Nevertheless, reports FCInterNews, Inter's plans have not changed with regards to Palacios.

Inter Milan Want €15M For Albania Star – Bologna Aiming To Lower Fee
Inter Milan want €15 million for Kristjan Asllani, while Bologna are aiming to negotiate a lower fee and different structure for the deal. This according to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset, via FCInterNews. They report that the Rossoblu could offer a sell-on fee to convince Inter to lower the initial price. Kristjan Asllani remains an Inter player despite strong transfer links away this summer. The Nerazzurri do not see the 23-year-old as fitting into their plans. However, they have struggled to find a buyer for him. Reportedly, a key factor in Inter's inability to sell Asllani has been the fact that the player himself would only want a move to a different team within Serie A. Inter Want €15M For Asllani – Bologna Working To Lower Fee MILAN, ITALY – JANUARY 19: Kristjan Asllani of FC Internazionale in action during the Serie A match between FC Internazionale and Empoli FC at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on January 19, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) One of the main clubs to show an interest in Asllani's signature has been Bologna. According to SportMediaset, the Emilian club made further contact with Inter this week. Furthermore, the broadcaster anticipate, the negotiations are now ongoing. Mediaset report that Inter would want a fee of around €15 million to sell Asllani. Bologna, for their part, are ready to offer a lower amount – either in a permanent deal, or a loan with a purchase option. However, the Rossoblu could also include a percentage of resale to convince Inter.
